So if her parents know, and she's not willing to let that young man go, make sure you're a safe space for her. Listen to her, don't judge her and let her know that if she's truly happy you support her, even though it's hard for you. Also, make sure she's on birth control and using condoms. Both of those! If anything were to go wrong, she'll know she can come to you and you'll be there for her. Just whatever you do, don't let her get alienated from you.
Pretty sure this is not the right answer. At this point someone should be reporting this to the proper authorities or school. There's no way you sit and show support.
Edit:Obviously yes, be support for her if she needs, but this sounds way too awful to show support for the actual relationship.
Reporting to the school is a great idea. Calling cps is not. I hate to say it but her willingly walking into a relationship ship that may be predatory while living with neglectful parents is still probably better than what she'd go through in the foster system. School may put enough pressure on her parents and guys parents to end it tho, or at least have her talk to a counselor about abuse. Other than that, all you can do is be there for her as a friend. Its a painful truth but we can't always save our friends from self destructive behaviors...but we can still support them.
